Parking is available on street, inside the south gate, and in front of the Denver Fencing Center building. Please do not block driveways or use the parking areas of other businesses in the neighborhood.
The city of Denver offers a multitude of activities that will be of interest to visiting fencers and their families. Restaurants and micro-breweries are varied and plentiful. The Hilton Gardens is a brief RTD light rail trip to, and the downtown Courtyard Marriott, is within easy walking distance of, the Denver Performing Arts Center, the 16th Street Mall, the Tattered Cover Bookstore, the Pepsi Center, Coors Field, the newly opened History Colorado Center, and the Denver Art Museum. In particular, the DAM is very kid friendly. REI’s flagship store, with its four story climbing wall, the Downtown Aquarium, and Elitch Gardens amusement park are about 1.3 mile walks.
If you wish to range a bit further, The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is a can’t miss attraction for lovers of all things dinosaur. Next door to the Museum of Nature and Science is the Denver Zoo. The new Elephant Passage exhibit recently opened. See http://www.denver.org for detailed information about even more events and performances.
DFC has retained courtesy room rates for a limited time at the following hotels:
The Denver RTD Light Rail can be used to reach the Evans station from either hotel. The Courtyard Downtown is a short walk to the main light rail loop, and the Hilton Garden has a free local shuttle bus that will take you to the Belleview station (or anywhere else within about a nine mile radius).
